Extra Protection for Your Assets

Umbrella Insurance

Umbrella insurance provides an extra layer of liability protection beyond your auto and home policies. Starting at just $150/year for $1 million in coverage, it's one of the most affordable ways to protect your family's assets, future earnings, and financial security.

Understanding Umbrella Insurance

Umbrella insurance provides additional liability protection that goes beyond the limits of your standard auto, home, or boat insurance. If a lawsuit or claim exceeds your primary policy limits, umbrella insurance kicks in to cover the difference — protecting your savings, investments, home equity, and future earnings from being seized in a judgment.
